Well RG3 got knocked out and Cam didn't fool a soul when he tried it today so not sure what you're basing that on.

RG3 didn't get knocked out running the read-option. He got knocked scrambling to the sidelines. And sure you may have some days where it doesn't net much gain. But they have to prepare for it every week. And it opens up other options off of that formation. Alot of wrinkles you can incorporate with it.

Also, I just wanna say that so far, Wright has been fine. Unlike most of the team, he's actually made some plays. It's just that this team is the perfect example of how little a WR makes in terms of winning and losing. The Titans have Kenny Britt, Nate Washington, and Kendall Wright, and an amazing receiving TE in Jared Cook, and they're about to be 1-4.

Also, I think a lot of Ponder's flaws are being overlooked by Vikings fans because they're winning this season. That was a great pass to Rudolph for the TD, but it's been one of the few times Ponder has thrown downfield, and other times he did that, the Titans picked him off. Most of his passes are within 5 yards of the LOS, and he's having a great day just because of Harvin, probably the best YAC WR in the league, and broken tackles due to the Titans defense sucking.

Weapons are huge when you've got an elite QB in there. Then you can cover up a terrible OL and running game and usually defense. If you don't have the QB, or your QB isn't ready to carry the team they become drastically less important.

I think most of us are cognisant of that. Part of it is that we don't have a legit threat to stretch the defense. Ponder's ability to push the ball down the field is a worry going forward though.

We're all well aware he doesn't throw down the field much. Part of it is because he's better in the intermediate game, part of it is because we don't have a deep threat, and part of it is just because we don't ask him to throw down the field and he hasn't needed to. If Jerome Simpson can stay healthy he'll make a difference, he was huge last week, not just making catches but he drew a few huge PI calls.
